IMPnovBMIiNzr IN WHIFFLETREE TRACE-HOOK..

The Schedule `referred to in these Letterls'P-at-ent making part of thetsame Be it known that we, CHARLES COLLINS BRADLEY,

of Brodhead, `in the State of Wisconsin, and BENJA- MIN F. UPs0N,`of Rockford, in theState of Illinois,

have invented a new and improved Whiiiletree-Trace- Hook and hereby deelare `the following to be a full `description thereof, reference being had to the accom- ,panying drawing'and letters thereon.' 1

`, 'Y `To enableothers to make and use our invention, we

here describe its construction and operation.

We make four hooks of malleable iron, or other metal, somewhat in the Icommon forms, cast in.` one piece, as shown 1n the drawing, Figure 1, there being 'a ferr-nle, about two inches in length, with the hook propel' branchingoff' from the side, as seen at e inthe drawing, and .then turned! toward the outer end, and again `curved around back, and the point of the hook H looking'into the outer openend of the ferrule, and l left so near thereto, or so much within the recess or 4openeUd, as to admit `the end of a cock-eye, and 4lallow it to pass the' point H, and be brought-forward to its place in fro'nt of ferrule.

backward, they must come broadside to the end of ferrule, but will not be likely to slip out, as the point of the hookwill not allow it topass, unless the end of the coekeye is thrust directly into the end of ferrule, to connect or disconnect therewith.

What we claimv as our invention, and desire to` se' eure by Letters Patent, is-

The construct-ion of "Whietree trace-hook, in conneetion with a fer'ule, with' the point of said hook -within or facing the open end or recess therein, as set forth, or substantially the same.v
